Shows maildirs status in a textbox.
Maildirs are structured as follows:
~/Mail
.
|-- arch
| |-- cur
| |-- new
| `-- tmp
|-- gmail
| |-- cur
| |-- new
| `-- tmp
.
.
.
therefore the widget checks whether there are files in the `new` directories.
If there's new mails, the textbox will say something like "mail: bugs(3), system(1)", otherwise it says
"no mail".
mymaildir = lain.widgets.maildir("/path/to/my/maildir")
The function takes a table as optional argument, which can contain:
Variable | Meaning | Type | Default
--- | --- | --- | ---
`mailpath` | Path to your maildir | string | "~/Mail"
`ignore_boxes` | A list of boxes to ignore | table | empty table

`footer` | Text to append after value | string | " "
